Edit content

Content items that reference or use the item are shown in the Used by section of the details pane. Click a content item in this section to open its details page.
Required fields are indicated by asterisks. Fields might have help text to provide guidance. For fields that have a restriction on the number of characters, a character counter is displayed above the field.
